Blacksburg council agenda

Blacksburg recently redesigned its Web site.  The new site lo oks great, though I miss the familiarity of the old one.  The new online council agendas look a little different, too.  I just received notice of Tuesday's meeting. (I'd still like to get these a day earlier than Friday afternoon, but that's another issue.)  This is how agendas should work.  Clear, well ordered and, most important, links to most of the supporting documents like proposed ordinances and resolutions.  Want to know what the proposed Disorderly Conduct ordinance looks like?  How about the resolution shutting down Main Street for a Summer Solstice celebration?  All that's missing are links to applications for permits.
